Cinco errores comunes en inglés que se corrigen fácilmente

Cinco errores comunes en inglés que se corrigen fácilmente

"Los nuevos estudiantes de lengua inglesa están destinados a cometer errores cuando practican sus destrezas y habilidades para mejorar su dominio. No hay nada malo en cometer errores, pero me gustaría compartir los cinco errores más comunes que son fácilmente corregibles dada mi experiencia en la enseñanza del inglés como segunda lengua. En lugar de dejar que estos errores continúen sin cesar, es importante que los profesores como yo corrijamos a nuestros alumnos de inmediato para no dejar que estos pequeños errores se conviertan en malos hábitos."

The Passive Voice

The Passive Voice

“The passive voice occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. This is because of whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical subject of the sentence. Take a look at this passive rephrasing of a familiar joke in the English language:

Why was the road crossed by the chicken?”

The Active Voice

The Active Voice

“The ‘active voice’ adds more impact to your writing, which is why most writers use the active voice instead of the passive voice. Overall, I would argue that the active voice is more important than the passive voice yet you should know how to use both effectively as an English writer.”

How to Write a Good Essay

How to Write a Good Essay

“In order to become an excellent English writer, it's very important to have the structure in place if you want to write a good essay. Firstly, you are going to want to make sure that you start with a beginning paragraph known as the 'introduction.' With the introduction paragraph, you're going to set the tone in terms of telling the audience what the topic of your essay is along with some supporting sentences discussing the topic(s) that are going to be covered later in the body paragraph(s). Your introduction paragraph should be between 3 to 4 sentences total and you should also have a thesis sentence laying out the main purpose of your essay and what you hope to get across to the audience.”
